By the time I get outside my dogs have disappeared
I do some violent tapping with my ink pen against a chair
Beau, the baby, comes running back to see what it is
He licks my knees; he always licks my knees
I am relieved, knowing he is not digging under the neighbor’s fence
Beau is an avid digger
He has dug holes all over the yard
I am sure the gophers have all disappeared

avid goldbricker
never takes initiative
a dud on the job
has to be given a list
hourly some days
never completes it either
he’s a lazy lay-about

A good dog faithfully follows you around, but an avid dog even craves for your poop.

avid diva
her name, Eva
with nails painted hot pink
she stirs her mixed drink
too hot to hoot
looking for loot
she struts with all her might
hoping to snare his sight
“madam, I’m Adam”
“OMG! He called me madam”!
her feminine wile
make his full lips smile
“dammit, I’m mad”!
adjusts her lopsided shoulder pad
upon a closer glance
he didn’t stand a chance

there is inspiration afoot!
come! see the photons splay
come! here the waves arc
inhaling smokin' oaken memory
walk the shoes of your life
brush hard into the wind
lean into it...and into me
before the mast's salt spray
crampons push to higher views
amass the scenes and scents
musty, the book's words billow
into your imaginative face
fill your trinketed pockets
with candies, screws, and cameos
handfuls cast to the crowds
giving the taking...is living

no fuss about those
avid friends and rabid foes,
each one comes then goes!
